"Awesome water park!"
We LOVE this new state or the art water park in Corpus Christi. It's free and it's fun. Plus, in the heat of summer, nothing beats water. Our three year old can't get enough of the water park! One bit of advice, show up early (8 or 9 a.m.) and get out before the masses show up!!!

"Fun with the Family"
The heart of the city of Corpus Christi can be found in and around the Bayfront Arts and Science Park complex. The Water Garden here is a cooling, soothing circle of more than one hundred fountains that are lighted at night. In late June the Water Garden hosts Fiesta de Corpus Christi, a celebration of the city’s Hispanic heritage, with music, historical exhibits, and other events. An even bigger family event happens here in September. Called Bayfest, the festival includes an expansive arts-andcrafts show, fireworks, parades on city streets and on the water, a sailboat regatta, and other boat races. Call (361) 887–0868 for more information. Included in the Bayfront complex are the following attractions:
